Recognised Scottish Clans, Chiefs and Commanders As of March 2020, this is the list of Chiefs recognised by both the Lord Lyon and the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, and Clan Commanders commissioned by the Lord Lyon to head an armigerous clan until a Chief is Confirmed. */**Dictates, although recognised as Chiefs of Clan Branches in their own right, they fall under a High Chief who is Chief of the whole clan. Only two cases come to mind: *Clan Donald (Macdonald) and **Clan Leod (Macleod). The Chiefs of these clan branches, although recognised as Chiefs, are the closest thing Scottish clans comes to having any Chieftains. Progression of Scottish Clans through the ages, Carruthers lands stay pretty static and although not as large as some, they are not considered small either. (Carruthers in dark blue below Johnston).
